Concubine like a house

Chapter 5
Han Chu didn't know why she ran away, even if she broke the relationship between Shen Yu and Chacha, at most she should be ashamed.But she still ran back into the house in one breath.

There was some pain in her foot, it should be sprained when she fell just now, but Hanchu felt more pain in her right hand, the square silk handkerchief she was holding was like a ball of fire, burning fiercely in the palm of her hand.Wrapped in silk pari are Chacha's earrings.But Hanchu understands that this earring can be thrown away now.

What needs to be thrown away is not just an earring?Hanchu looked at the guqin on the table, suddenly, he hugged it in his arms, turned around and left the yard.

I don't know how many detours I took, until my feet swelled and hurt unbearably, Han Chu heard the sound of water.She hugged Qin in despair, looked at Wang Biquan in front of her, and laughed silently.

She should have understood earlier, how can a woman in a brothel deserve a man's sincerity?She never adjusted her position, only blindly pursued the illusory loyal love.But in the end, it's all a mirror image.

As Shen Yu said, it's just prostitution!It's ridiculous that he just gave her a piano, and she thought he had some respect and sincerity.It turned out that she still liked her appearance!

The words of Shen Yu's bed just now are still in my ears, and her innocence and extravagant expectations have been destroyed with a knife.It's just a whore...

"Plop" sounded, and Han Chu's arms became empty in an instant.She struggled to throw the guqin into the water, as if throwing a bloody blade, and she was the culprit who escaped the murder.

Immediately, the water surface was shimmering, and it looked very attractive under the moonlight.But the next moment, this eerie scene has been broken by a ray of light——

"Who is here?" Han Chu heard a sharp voice and asked.That voice was somewhat vigilant and blunt, so cold that it made people shudder.

Han Chu followed the light and looked sideways, first saw a young man carrying a lantern not far away, with a long sword slung around his waist, he looked like a... guard?
In the next glance, she saw another man in front of the guard.

I saw a white dress exuding a soft light under the light of the lantern, which formed a sharp contrast with the night. It was clear and hazy, like the stars in the night, and felt a bit unreachable.

Han Chu couldn't see the appearance of the man in white clothes clearly, but he could only vaguely discern that it should be a young man.The cool demeanor around him is so quiet, yet so strong, the contradictions are too great to be ignored.

Besides, this young man in white is sitting on a wheelchair.

Hanchu was in a trance for a moment.It was strange and mysterious that the two master and servant appeared so silently.This place is obviously Shen Yu's private residence, so how could a strange man appear out of thin air?
If it wasn't for the young man in white who was sitting in a wheelchair and seemed unable to walk, Han Chu would almost have thought that these two immortals came from somewhere and stopped by here for a while.

After all, such a night and such a scene are full of endless bewildering beauty, and it is easy to cause endless bewildering illusions.

Xu Shihan had been in a trance for a long time, but saw that the man who looked like a guard had already held the lantern a little higher, as if he wanted to see her face clearly: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Hanchu was so startled by this cold shout that he came back to his senses, only then realized that he had actually stared at the two strange men for a long time.She couldn't help feeling a little shy, and wanted to explain, but she was still speechless.She could only bow down low to salute, pointed to her throat, and waved her hand lightly.

"You can't speak?" the young guard holding the lamp asked again.

Han Chu nodded in agreement.

Now the young guard was surprised, probably because he didn't expect Han Chu to be a dumb girl.He looked at the young man in white in the wheelchair, as if he was waiting for his master to show him.

"Looking at the piano in the night, the girl is so elegant." The young man in white finally opened his mouth, his voice was a bit indifferent and magnetic, which suddenly calmed Han Chu's chaotic mood for no reason.

The voice was so familiar that it could bring her peace and peace of mind.

It's just that Han Chu couldn't answer the question asked by the young man in white just now.Where does she have the elegance of Shenqin at night?It was clearly a case of self-pity and self-injury.

Although he knew that the night was dark and the lights were dim, the other party must not be able to see his face and expression clearly, but Han Chu still tried his best to restrain his emotions, and did not want to be seen as strange.

"Are you from Xiyuan?" In the night, she heard the young man in white speak again, this time it was not approval, but a question.It's just that she was tired of losing her voice, so she nodded slightly.

"So it's you." The young man in white seemed to smile, with a clear tone in his words.

Who is it?Han Chu was very puzzled when he heard the words.Judging from the tone of this young man in white, does he recognize himself?

But Hanchu was sure that he didn't recognize him.She is the Hua Kui Han Chu who has been reduced to ashes in the eyes of the world, how could she know him?What's more, among her past benefactors, there was no such outstanding man as a banished fairy.If there is, she will be able to remember it clearly.

Hanchu really wanted to ask about the identity of the young man in white, but she lost her voice, and the other party didn't intend to declare her family background, so she had to give up.

"Miss, go back to Xiyuan, don't make Zifeng anxious." The white-clothed young man said again.

Zifeng?Who is Zifeng?Why is it getting more and more ridiculous?If it wasn't for Hanchu being awake, she would almost think that she was experiencing a dream, and the exiled fairy in the dream recognized the wrong person.

What's even more strange is that she was clearly separated from the young man in white, and the lights were so dim, but the other party seemed to be able to see her expression, and answered her question in one sentence: "Young lady, I don't know who Zifeng is?"

Han Chu didn't care whether he could see it or not, he just nodded in agreement.

Such an atmosphere is very strange, she actually stood by a spring, looking at two strange men from a distance; not only did she not feel afraid, but she also communicated with them peacefully, answering silently.

Han Chu had a feeling, a feeling of being scrutinized.Knowing that she must not be able to see clearly in such a dark night, she still felt a pair of cold eyes shooting towards her for no reason, looking at her quietly without any emotion.

Hanchu forced herself not to think about it, she remembered that they were still stuck on the question of "Who is Zifeng".She waited for the young man in white to reply, but the other party was silent.

After a long time, just when she was about to give up on this question, the young man in white spoke again, with a gentle tone: "Shen Yu, the word Zifeng."

It turns out that "Zifeng" is Shen Yu's nickname.Reminiscent of just now when the young man in white asked her if she was from Xiyuan, Hanchu finally realized that the master and servant in front of him were the "Dongyuan honored guests" Shen Yu said.

Since she is Shen Yu's guest, it is not something she can get along with her humble status. It was just a chance encounter, and there is no need to talk now.

Hanchu looked around and found that this place was not Dongyuan, but behind the rockery at the main entrance.She couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, which meant that she hadn't entered Dongyuan by mistake, and even if she reasoned about it in the future, Shen Yu couldn't blame her.

The young man in white indeed had sharp eyes and could see at night, so he obviously understood Han Chu's meaning.He pondered for a moment in the night, and then said slowly: "I have never seen the matter of Chen Qin tonight. I will leave."

As soon as he said this, the young guard on the side pushed the wheelchair and left slowly.

Hanchu watched the young man in white go away before turning back to Xiyuan.This adventure with Shen Qin made her gradually calm down, and when she returned to her courtyard, she finally fell into a peaceful sleep.

Waking up the next morning, just after washing, she saw the lake blue figure in the yard.Shen Yu stood with his hands behind his back, facing the courtyard door sideways, with a thoughtful look on his face.

In fact, Shen Yu can be called handsome, especially his side face is even more angular.At this moment, he was silent, standing silently, but he didn't show his usual flirtatiousness, and he had the aura that could make a girl in Huaichun's heart flutter.

It's just that Han Chu is no longer in love.She suddenly didn't know how to face Shen Yu, but fortunately she lost her voice now, which instead became an advantage.

She was secretly rejoicing that Shen Yu had discovered her, so she turned her head and asked expressionlessly, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Han Chu had no choice but to step out of the threshold, first bowed to Shen Yu to salute, and then nodded slightly.

"But I didn't sleep well." Shen Yu stared at her with burning eyes, not wanting to let go of the slightest change in her expression.

Hanchu deliberately didn't look at Shen Yu, his eyes fell on the tung tree in the yard, he smiled lightly and didn't respond.

Shen Yu looked at her appearance of having nothing to do with her, feeling depressed and disappointed in his heart.Her fleeing and evasion last night seemed to be the jealous behavior of a little girl.It's just that when the incident happened suddenly, he didn't notice the abnormality.

In fact, after Hanchu left last night, he tried his best to continue the lingering relationship with Chacha, but he was absent-minded, unable to arouse any interest, and finally had to give up halfway.

When he woke up in the middle of the night, he looked at Chacha beside him, and all the thoughts in his mind were Han Chu's appearance.He remembered her shyness, panic, anger, and even indifference clearly.

He missed her a little, so he put on his clothes and got up and came to her courtyard regardless of the soft jade in his arms.Unexpectedly, this heartless woman fell asleep peacefully and soundly, showing no trace of sadness or loss.

The more Shen Yu watched, the more annoyed he became, and he returned to Chacha's bed, explaining the reason for going out.After finally coaxing Chacha to sleep, he no longer felt sleepy, so he had to keep his eyes open until dawn.

But now, he was thinking about coming to see her again early in the morning, but he only got her indifferent smile.That's all!

"Why did you go to find Chacha last night?" Shen Yu still stared at Han Chu, hoping that she would care about him.

Hanchu pointed to his earlobe, then turned around and took out an earring from the room.

Shen Yu saw that these earrings looked familiar, but he gave women too many items, and he couldn't remember them all.He glanced at the shape of the earring, it was a camellia, and he understood it.

It turned out that she was looking for Chacha to give her earrings.The disappointment on Shen Yu's face became more and more obvious, finally he sighed and explained: "Last night I..."

"Young Master!" But hearing a coquettish voice suddenly came, Chacha had already stepped into the yard with a thin cloak in her hand, "It's very humid early in the morning, why don't you put on any clothes?"

Chacha put the cloak on Shen Yu's body, then looked at Han Chu with a smile: "Young lady woke up so early."

Hanchu handed the earrings to Chacha, and gave her a blank look.

"So it's here!" Chacha pretended to exclaim and said with a smile, "I searched for hours yesterday! I've searched all over Xiyuan! It actually fell on the girl."

Chacha said while shaking Hanchu's hands, wanting to express her gratitude.Hanchu let her hold it lightly, feeling the coldness from his fingertips, and responded to her narrow mind with silence.

Chacha obviously knew what Han Chu meant, so she gave a dry laugh, let go of her hand and said, "I won't delay Young Master talking to the girl, I'll take my leave first." She smiled and retreated.

It's okay if Chacha doesn't come, but this time, Shen Yu couldn't say anything out of his stomach.After all, it's really hard to explain clearly when my sweetheart breaks my love affair with other women.Shen Yu loved and hated Han Chu in his heart, but seeing that she treated him coldly, he had no choice but to let her calm down for two days, and then explain another day.

"You should rest first, young master, I am busy with many things, and I will come to see you in two days... If you have something to do, just look for Chacha." After Shen Yu said this, he turned and left the door.

"Patta." A small ball of paper fell from Shen Yu's body.He walked too fast to notice.

Han Chu wanted to speak to him, but remembered that he couldn't speak, and when he picked up the ball of paper from the ground, Shen Yu had already stepped out of the courtyard gate.

Hanchu hesitated for a long time holding the ball of paper before slowly unfolding it...

Coming out of Hanchu's garden, Shen Yu went straight to Dongyuan.He was worried about Hanchu's throat disease in his heart, and planned to go to that "guest friend" to discuss a treatment prescription.

"Where's your master?" Shen Yu asked when he entered the garden and saw a familiar person, a housekeeper brought by his friend.

"Master is studying medicine books in the study." The butler replied respectfully.

Shen Yu gave a "hmm" and was about to leave, but saw the housekeeper hesitated and said: "I have something to ask, and I also ask the little prince to help."

"Oh? Your master still has something that can't be done, you want to ask me?" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"It's not the master's idea, it's the old slave's own idea." The steward said frankly, "The old slave wants to find a good maidservant to serve the master, so I asked the young master to look for it for her."

Looking for a maid?This is strange, that person finally realized that there are not enough people under his command?Shen Yu was a little gloating, and smiled at the housekeeper: "When your master first came, I saw him as very miserable, a dignified son, with only two maids around him. What did he say at that time? He said that two maids were enough gone."

Shen Yu smiled mockingly, and was very happy to watch a big show called "Break Your Promise and Get Fat": "You said that your master... I knew today, so why bother?"

The housekeeper knew that Young Lord Shen and his master were brothers and sisters, so he said this without any malice, so he replied truthfully: "You have misunderstood. Seeing that the master is close to the age of the weak crown, and his body is about to recover, Mrs. Tai wrote a letter two days ago, saying It is to let the master return to Fangzhou to inherit the title..."

The butler paused for a moment before continuing: "Originally, the old servant returned to Fangzhou to take care of everything. It happened that the three maids in Mrs. Tai's house died of illness and got married one after another. The master is filial. He was afraid that the servants would not serve him satisfactorily, so he ordered the old servant The slave also brought Miss Qianyun back to serve Mrs. Tai."

Speaking of this, the housekeeper looked worried: "You know that the master doesn't like red tape, and this time he only brought four servants to Jingzhou. Now that the old slave and Miss Qianyun are gone, only the master There are two people left, the old slave is worried..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yu had understood, waved his hand, and said, "Isn't she just a maidservant, I've made a note of it. What kind of person do you want to find for your master?"

The housekeeper was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly expressed his thoughts: "My master is happy to be quiet, it's best to be like Miss Qianyun, who doesn't talk much."

Shen Yu nodded: "That's easy to say."

The housekeeper thought for a while, and then said: "The master came to Jingzhou in secret to raise a general, and even the current emperor doesn't know about it. What the old slave means is that you need to find a reliable one. It is best if there is a ready-made candidate in Chasing Hongyuan. After all Find one from outside, I'm afraid it's easy to leak the news."

"It's just picking a maidservant, how can it be more difficult than choosing a concubine!" Having said that, Shen Yu still smiled and agreed, "I'll send her here in two days."

The housekeeper hurriedly thanked him: "I've caused you trouble."

"Butler Yun, you're being polite, your master's business is my business." Shen Yu said as he walked towards the study, "I'll go and see him, you go get busy."

Shen Yu's anger towards Han Chu also dissipated most of it after the housekeeper's request just now.He was thinking about the candidate for a servant girl, and when he came to Dongyuan's study, he saw his friend carefully flipping through the medicine books in the cabinet.

Dressed in white clothes, her temperament is light, like Qiongyao's beautiful jade, pure and flawless.Obviously born in a wealthy and noble family that everyone in the world flocks to, but he has an aura that does not eat the fireworks of the world, like a banished fairy.

The only regrettable thing is that this immortal-like character has inconvenient legs and feet.

Every time he thought about how his friend got sick, Shen Yu couldn't help but blame himself.If there is anyone who he should be most ashamed of in his life, it is this close friend in front of him——Yun Ci.

Shen Yu and Yun Ci knew each other when they were young, and they met in Qu's doctor's residence.It's just that one is a close disciple of the genius doctor, and the other is a patient admitted by the genius doctor.They have been together day and night for five years, and they have also formed a deep brotherhood.

It's just that in this friendship, there is also Shen Yu's guilt towards Yun Ci.

More than ten years ago, Shen Yu's father, Marquis Wenchang, was kind to Dr. Qu, so he asked his frail young son to worship Dr. Qu as his teacher.When Shen Yu came to Qu's doctor's mansion, he found that there was another frail young man recuperating here, who was about the same age as him, and it was Yun Ci.

The two quickly became acquainted, and Shen Yu also learned the cause of Yun Ci's illness.It turned out that Yunci's mother was poisoned when she was pregnant, which caused him to be born with the root cause of the disease.When Shen Yu came to Qu's mansion, Yun Ci had been treated here for three years, and the fetal poison was gone, but his body was not well yet.

One day Shen Yu sneaked away to play in the back mountain, and was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake. It was Yun Ci who took drugs for him regardless of his life, and saved his life in time.Later, his own poison was cured, but the fetal poison in Yunci's body was triggered by the snake venom, and he almost died.
